P/C: our thread is eternal

Exactly. And Riker. That's what Riker was there for surely?

 

[Dancing Doctor]

Perhaps.

Gawd knows I'm a diehard Picard fan but I don't want to see him in fight scenes. He used to be way too cool.

He has people for that sort of thing.

*applauds instead*

Oh he was. Riker's role was to Kirk-ass the bad guys on the away missions. He just wasn't allowed to have as much shirt ripping in the sensitive eighties.

"Kirk-ass"?

Did anyone get their uniform or clothing ripped in TNG?

As Good Will Riker will remind you if you forget!

But I guess that Picard couldn't stand Riker getting all the Kirk action. He wasn't content to stay at home drinking tea with Bev, and decided to get in on it himself...

Of course, if it was important to him,

he had no difficulty taking care of matters personally.

Of course if he was backed into a corner by Q (or by the writers, or indeed by Patrick Stewart), then he'd *have* to take care of matters personally. But ordinarily he's too intelligent to let himself be backed into a corner.

You would hope, at least.

*I* would hope, at least. Some people prefer seeing ActionPicard...

Eh...ActionPicard gets old real fast.

I have a question: How many times has Beverly defied Picard, or gone against his orders?

 

[Whoa Nellie]

I thoroughly enjoy the occasional appearance of Action Picard, the quintessential alpha male.

ActionPicard is all right, but after a while he gets old. Overusing him is never good.

Oh: I've finally gotten started on the second fanfic installment, titled ...Is Not Gold

Cool! Speaking of fanfic, I really should be working on my next P/V story.

^I'll eagerly await it.

While I may not agree with P/V, your stories have always been enjoyable, funny, and like chocolate-almost sinfully good.

Thank you for that very generous compliment! That pretty much sums up the sole purpose of my stories. I'm off to write.

Whoa Nellie

Good luck!

And to look pretty and so keep me entertained during the late 80's/early 90's.

I'm so intrigued by this discussion. It's obvious that when we look at Picard, we are basically seeing two different characters, and yet both viewings can obviously be supported by the source text. Such is fandom, I suppose...

 

[mon capitaine]

Does Beverly lend herself to such multiple interpretations?
